Today I'm releasing the SWISHED server code and the matching
SWISH::API::Remote client library. Together, they allow remote access
to swish-e indices via TCP/IP.
The client SWISH::API::Remote can be found at
http://joshr.com/src/SWISH-API-Remote
Code for the server, SWISHED, can be found at http://joshr.com/src/SWISHED
This is definitely working code, and it's pretty well documented in
the source and perldoc files.
To get started, take a look at this:
http://joshr.com/src/SWISH-API-Remote/SWISH-API-Remote-0.07/swishedsearch
Those who use the SWISH::API bundled with SWISH-E will notice a
similarity between SWISH::API and SWISH::API::Remote.
Below is an example of using SWISH::API::Remote to search on a swished server:
#example: swishedclient.pl
use SWISH::API::Remote;
my $sw = SWISH::API::Remote->new( 'http://notaserverLLD.com/swished');
my $w = "foo OR bar";
my $results = $sw->Execute( $w );
printf("Fetched %d of %d hits for search on '%s'\n",
$results->Fetched(), $results->Hits(), $w);
while ( my $r = $results->NextResult() ) {
print join(" ", map { $r->Property($_) } ($r->Properties()) ) . "\n";
}
if ($results->Error()) {
die $results->ErrorString();
}
Other reading on this subject can be found at:
http://joshr.com/src/swished/swished-0.07/README
and protocol currently used is described here:
http://joshr.com/src/swished/swished-0.07/PROTOCOL
and in the doc referred to below.
Interested to hear what people think!
Best,
Josh Rabinowitz
PS: I've also put the related paper from this year's USENIX Annual
Technical conference online at http://joshr.com/src/docs ; I'll be
sending out another email about that shortly.
